It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of Retired Chief Benjamin Norris of the North Charleston Fire Department. After his retirement, he parlayed his fire investigation skills into a full time business of fire forensics and was widely known for his expertise both on the fireground and in the classroom. He mentored and taught many of the best fire investigators in our State and he will be sorely missed. “Benji” and I worked together for many years, he in North Charleston City and I in North Charleston District. I will always remember his dedication to his Mom and Dad as he took care of them in their later years. He was also an avid financial supporter of our Team and contributed generously to our mission. We will miss you our friend. Rest easy.
